SPECEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 693,761, dated. February 18, 1902.

Application iiled June 3, 1901. Serial No. 62,973. CNO model.)

To all ZIJ/tom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD E. VALTERS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lehighton, in the county of Carbon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Stove, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a stove which is useful in all branches of cooking and also for ro house-heating; and it comprises certain novel features which Will be fully described hereinafter.

This specification is a specific description of one form of theinvention, While the claims are definitions of the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

2e Figure l is a sectional view of the stove on the line l 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a plan vieW of the body of the stove, showing the top portion removed. Fig. i is a bottom View of the Water-jacket, and Fig. 5 is a plan of the fireboX.

c indicates the fire-box of the stove, below which is the usual grate a. The fire-box is surrounded by a Water-jacket Z2. The lire-box 3o a has a top fiange a2 bearing on the Waterjacket and is held spaced from the jacket by ribs as. (See Fig. 5.) The iiange a2 is orificed to permit free circulation of air. It Will be observed from the illustrations in Figs. l and 5 that the fire-box ce may be removed from the stove,so that the lire may, When desired, be built directly against the Walls of the Water-jacket. This will apply a maximum degree of heat to the Water-jacket,

4o but when the box a is in place the Water-jacket Will not be heated so highly. The purpose of this will hereinafter appear. The waterjacket is provided with a partition b3 therein, forming a continuous passage for the water Which enters the water-jacket through a pipe b' and passes out thereof through a pipe b2. From the nre-boxe the burning gases pass into a combustion-chamber c above the firebox. At one side of the fire-box is arranged 5o a doWndraft-passage c', in which are located two vertical flues c2, at the upper ends of which is arranged a horizontally-perforated plate c3.

d indicates the oven, beneath Which passes a flue d', communicating With the lower end 55 of the line c', such communication being coinmandedbyla damper d4, having an operatingstem d5. (See Fig. 2.) The outer or opposite end of the flue d communicates with an npdraft-flue d2, leading past the outer end 6o of the oven and into a flue d3, arranged at the top of the oven.

eindicates a partition which is mounted between the top of the oven and the top of the stove and which forms a by-pass flue or space e in communication with the flue d3 by an opening e2 in the partition e and in communication with the flue d2 by an opening e3 in the partition e. The opening c2 is commanded by a damper e and the opening 7o es by a damper e5. The left-hand end of the fine d3 communicates with the combustionchamber c by means of an orificed partition c4, commanded by a sliding damper c5. From the flue or chamber e' the smoke and burn- 75 ing gases pass by an Aoutlet e6, (see Fig. 3,) and from the combustion -chamber c said t gases may pass through an outlet c6.

Arranged at the upper rear portion of the stove and communicating with the outlets c 8o and o6 is a casing f, containing a boiler f', through Which pass anumber of fire-tubesfz, these tubes extending longitudinally through the boiler and opening at their ends into the casing j'. with an outlet f3, adapted to carry the smoke off into the chimney with which the stove is connected. The casing f contains a flue f4, which communicates With the outlet e and passes by the side of the boiler j" and directly to 9o the outlet f3. The outlet c is commanded by a dam per cl, and this opening communicates with the casing f at one end thereof. When the damper c7 is closed and the draft is led around the damper and out through the open- 9 5' ing c, it passes directly through the iiue f2 and out of the casingf; but when the damper c7 is open andthe dampers e4 and e5 are closed the draft passes through the outlet c and through the fire-tubes f2 and thence out by Way of the 10o outletfs. This latter passage of the draft thoroughly heats the Water in the boiler f'.

The top of the casingfis provided By closing the dampers c7 and c5 the draft may be caused to pass down the flue c,around the oven, and up either directly into the flue e or into said flue by way of the flue d3. If the damper e4 is closed, the draft passes through the opening e3 into the iiue or chamber e', and if the position of the dampers e4 and e5 is reversed the draft passes int-o the fluef2 and thence through the lue e. If the damper c5 be opened, the draft passes directly over the top of the-oven as contradistinguished from under and past the side thereof. The water heated in the boiler f may be used for house -heating, and this boiler is connected with the water-jacket b of the ire-box by means of the pipes b and h2, as shown,so that the water circulates continuously from one to the other; f5 indicates the feed-pipe for the boiler f. If desired, the Water-jacket b and boiler f/ may be used independently-that is to say, if the house is not to be heated the boiler f' may not be used and the water-jacket used alone to furnish Water for culinary purposes. When the boiler f is used, it will be advisable to remove the box d, so as to heat the water as much as possible. When the boiler is not used, all necessary heat may be attained with the hre-box in place.

The top g of the stove is formed with a number of openings therein for the reception of cooking utensils, as usual. These openings may be tted with covers of any desired sort.

Various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of my invention may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of myinvention. Hence I consider myself entitled to all such variations as may lie within the scope of myclaims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A stove having a fire-box, a Water-jacket arranged around it, means in the water-jacket to form a continuous passage passing around the fire-box, a water-boiler, connections between the ends of said passage in the waterjacket and the Water-boiler to provide for the circulation of water from the boiler into the water-jacket and back to the boiler, said' boiler comprising a shell with fire-tubes passing through it, a casing inclosing the boiler and having an outlet for the products of combustion, means forming passages carrying the draft from the fire-box into the end of the casing and through the Water-tubes or into the side of lthe casing past the boiler, and dampers controlling said passages.

2. A stove having a grate, a water-jacket arranged above it, a fire-box removably set inside of the water-jacket, ribs fastened to the outside of the fire-box and engaging the waterjacket to space the Afire-box therefrom, the fire-v boX having a iiange at its upper edge, the flange projecting outward over the re-box and being perforated to allow for the circulation of air between the fire-boX and waterjacket, a water-boiler in communication with the Water-jacket, said boiler comprising a shell with fire-tubes passing through it, a casing inclosing-the boiler and having an outlet for the product-s of combustion, means forming passages for carrying the draft from the fire-box into the end of the casing and through the boiler-tubes or into the side of the casing past the boiler, and dampers controlling said passages.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
